PERUVIAN MINESTRONE SOUP

Peruvian Minestrone Soup image

Easy, Healthy and Hearty! Delicious on a winter day! This recipe is very forgiving so season to taste. You can eat it plain but we usually add a splash or two of evaporated milk to each soup bowl and sprinkle parmesan cheese to create a creamier texture. I will add a picture the next time I make it!
